The nature of _real_ 16:9 chips has not been that they don't use the full height of the chip.
Eg. 2/3" 16:9 chips do use the whole diagonal space which is 11 mm.
XL2 do not use the full diagonal size in any mode, so I think it's a bit misleading to advertize it as being 1/3" camera when it newer uses that space.
I bought vx1000 -95 and have been waiting for _real_ 1/3" 16:9 chip since then.
Now I'm not anymore sure will that ever happen...
And why there is not even 1/2 16:9 chips?
Why there is A-minima, that has bigger gate than hdcam's ccd, but nothing near that size in digital?
